Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliner Travel Sets!

Finally! My first review after few months of absence in doing product reviews! As you all know, after couple of weeks doing our household chores left by the Flood..I finally got the chance to try these 2 Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliner Travel sets(VIP & Velvet Rope) which arrived a month earlier. I'm really really excited to try these on me, though the first time I had them i just tried them on the back of my hands to see the colors. And after seeing it, i can't wait to try them on my eyes!

What it is:

A dynamic eye pencil, in a rainbow of shades.


What it does:

Glide on color that stays put for the duration of your non-stop, on-the-go day! These cushiony, creamy eye pencils deliver powerful, vibrant color that slides on smooth and stays soft and creamy for blending (about 30 seconds), then dries to a long-lasting finish that won't budge. Line eyes with a hint of color or go for the full artistic, multi-hued effect. Truly inspired, these pencils go all day and all night.


They say:

You're always on the run, so Urban Decay gathered five of their best selling 24/7 eye pencils and shrunk them down to fit perfectly in your glove compartment, purse or boyfriend's medicine cabinet (he won't even know it's there). They're a bit cuter, but still just as creamy, blendable, and waterproof.For these 24/7 Pencil sets, “Best Selling” is an understatement! Full of bright tropical hues, the VIP set is back by popular demand. And, making its debut, the new Velvet Rope set features neutral shades that look amazing on anyone. Each Pencil is a slick travel size, making it easy to stash anywhere.


What else you need to know:

Created with 50 percent moisturizing ingredients suspended in a sophisticated waterproof formula, this brilliant collection of eye essentials offers long-lasting color and a dreamy, creamy feel when applied.


Personal Review:

The packaging is really really cute! I just love staring them all day! It was packaged together against a mirrored backdrop! With 5 dazzling shades of eyeliner pencils displayed. But unfortunately after trying them on my eyes they didn't lasts all day, it didn't even lasts all night! They are nice and well pigmented. I love how it glides easily along my lids without worrying of having my lids tugged hard just to fill up the colors. It's creamy texture makes it easier to apply, and the plus side of it; it dries easily that after application and tried blinking lots of times, it doesn't smudged or stick on top of my lids. The colors are really strong, just one light stroke can create a solid line. So far I'm enjoying these eyeliners but i have to reapply every 2-3 hours depending on the activities I'm engaged to. I live in a tropical country, so maybe it's one factor why it fades easily on me while others are raving how much it stayed on them the whole day. I've tried putting them with/without primer but still the result is the same. My lids are not too oily, maybe it's just not a good combination on my skin.

I've also tried them along my waterline and they fades and smeared. I just need to reapply and good thing i bought the travel size so these can easily fit in my purse. So basically it's not waterproof. But it doesn't easily can be removed by water unless you rub it off. I haven't tried it on my lashline yet, but some people says that it's good.

Pros:

-Great & Intense color pay-off.
-Nice array of colors that can suit any mood & lifestyle you're into.
-The creamy substance can help application glides on smoothly & easily.
-No tugging which avoids having your lids wrinkled in the end.
-No Allergy reactions/itching/burning sensation or whatsoever.

Cons:

-It doesn't stay put for long, it does smudge & smears on me.
-It fades in just a small period of time, not a smduge proof/waterproof in my case.
-Eyeliners that need sharpening is already a downside. Automatic eyeliners are still the best.
-It's creamy texture has the risk of breaking off while sharpening it.
-A bit expensive for an eyeliner that doesn't live to what it claims.

Overall Verdict:

-A really nice eyeliner set for a makeup addict like myself but definetely not recommended for people who has oily lids nor people who lives in a humid country. Ironically, I thought this pencils was best for smudging. So i conclude it would be best if it was done along the upper lashline as what other reviewers says. The creamy texture doesn't go well with my skin but it doesn't mean i wouldn't be using them anymore. That's the reason why i bought them in travel size on the first place so i would be able to bring them along with me to have retouch in case they fades off. I'm in a state of experimenting the colors, I blend them with nice color of eyeshadows, it's very impressive especially if you done it well & with a good combination of lovely colors. These eyeliner pencils speaks to everyone's inner party girl.

Q&A Portion: Beauty & Makeup Question

Q: What's your favorite brand of makeup?

A: There are many to mention since I love different kinds of brand but currently my favorite are Urban Decay, Lorac, Benefit Cosmetics & MAC.

Q: What Brand are you planning to try next:

A: Lots! But will have try these first: Kat Von D, Bare Escentuals, Laura Geller, Helena Rubinstein & Stila.

Q: What's your Morning Regimen?

A: Wash my Face with "Faceshop Rice Water Cleansing Foam" and pat it dry with a towel. I always put sunblock on my face whether rain or shine, and it should be at least SPF 30.

Q: How About your Night Regimen?

A: Before anything else, i always removed my make-up with my makeup remover. Always do facial scrub once-twice a week. I apply toner then use shiseido night cream & clinique all about eyes rich cream for a serious moisture undereye treatment.

Q: What is you makeup style?

A: It really depends. When i go to church, i make it as simple as possible. I swipe a chocolate brown across my lids, and highlight my browbone. A little contour for my cheeks and use nude colors for my lips. But whenever I'm at the mall or somewhere else, there's an endless possibility of styles that i always do.

Product Review: Posietint

Posietint is the pink version of the most famous and bestselling, Benetint. When i first heard of this product, and saw the actual pic of it all over the net, i did a little research about it and look for a personal review of it. I saw that people prefer this over the predecessor that they're selling their half used product just to have this.

Personal Review:

-The bottle looks ravishing! It's coated with metallic pink finish that has a nail polish type applicator, which i find it easier to use. The product itself is somewhat creamy/milky, unlike benetint it has an inky texture. This is a product where less is most definetely more! A little of it goes a long way. The first time i tried using this, i put too much that i ended up looking like a clown.haha The pink effect of this blush fits to lighter skintones, it's buildable and imparts a nice glow after wearing for a couple of minutes. It also has a slight fragrance that smells really good on the cheeks. A really nice product but be cautious in applying, i tried putting 3 dots on my cheeks and it ends up the part on which i dotted becomes darker than the rest and it looks blotchy! Tried applying it in swipe but i ended up having a distinct stripe on my cheeks the whole day. So to make it even try putting in your fingers first before spreading it over your cheeks. It also strikes a nice balance between dewy and matte. So for people who has an oily skin be sure to dab a powder right after application. It also looks good on the lips, making it look natural with long lasting color that doesn't feel like wearing anything. The color of it makes you feel young, healthy & glowy.


Pros:

-The cream consistensy is a bit thicker and would give you enough time to spread it over your cheeks before it dries out.

-All natural look for both cheeks and lips.

- It really stays put all day.


Cons:

-The metallic finish on the bottle can chip off all over the place.

-The color of it doesn't compliment all skintones.


Overall Verdict:

-In all honestly, i personally like and prefer benetint rather than this. I'm not a big fan of a milky type and pinkish look since my natural blush is reddish tomato especially coming right after the gym. Though it's not my everyday blush, still it would look great in some occasions. Like the time when i want to have this barbie doll look, this blush would surely fit and suit my look and for my lips to get this baby pink pout. But i really admire this product as it provides just the right amount of color.

Review: Benefit Benetint

My second review of benefit benetint! Didn't give much elaboration on the first one so i decided to make another for more details.:) Well, I've been using this product for a year and now on my second bottle...I can say that it's one of the best blush i have used! Without a doubt, It was voted "best blush" by Elle magazine in 2006 and was feautured in some magazines for being the best product.

I was pretty amazed the first time i used this, i was using tarte flush and bodyshop lip&cheek tint before and was satisfied with it until i tried this "Award winning and Benefit's best selling product", I was hooked instantly and become a fan of it!!!! At first i resisted to purchase this blush because of the hefty price tag. But the idea looks so promising, i gave in after hearing everybody saying this as the best lip & cheek tint in the market. And they're absolutely right! And now,i have my third bottle waiting when my second one runs out.:)

What I Love About It:

This "sexiest flush you can get from a bottle"has a naturally sheer and sexy on all complexions is buildable from the sheerest application to a bright flush. It work wonders on the lips too, It gives my lips a very natural red tint that suits in any occasion. Just by bringing a bottle of it can give you a pretty look that won't be needing a lot of makeup on. It has an overwhelming scent of roses, that smells pretty good on my cheeks, but it's a bit weird if i put it on my lips coz i can taste the rose petal of it-but i'm already used to it! so no problem bout that.

My second bottle.:)

<

The Applicator resembles the brush of a nail polish.:) isn't cute??

Directions:

Apply three dots to the apples of your cheeks and blend quickly with fingertips. Add a few more dots for deeper color.

Pros:

-It stays put for a long time! A record for more than 24 hours of wearing it and the bright flush is still there.:)

-It has a water consistency that can easily absorbed by skin to prevent the greasy feeling after application.

-A bottle can lasts you a long time.

Cons:

-The glass container, it has danger for it to be shattered or broken if not handled properly.

-If the benetint isn't capped tightly it will leak all over your purse or makeup case, but if you do capped it too tightly the plastic lid will cracked ruining the sealing mechanism..you won't be able to bring it anywhere with you.

-Rose Extract: Some people may be allergic to it, be cautious and know the ingredients first.

-Pricey, 12.5ml bottle for $28

Tips & Tricks:

-It get dries quickly so blend it asap coz it may look uneven.

-Use a gloss after applying benetint on your lips, to prevent your lips from cracking or drying out.

-Don't use if you're suffering from acne/pimple, it will magnify it.

-Suitable for fair/medium skin tone.

Overall Verdict:

I'm head over heels with this blush! You just need to learn the right technique and you'll surely fall in love with it. I always apply benetint to awaken my complexion, the color looks good and natural on my skin. As for the lips, it has an effect of "eating a cherry popsicle stick". It clings on pretty good, and with it's long lasting effect i won't be needing to go to the bathroom for touch-ups from time to time. It's sheer tint gives you an innocent yet provocative glow that will surely will keep everone guessing “what has she been up to?”. Overall, I'm rapt with this product!

Pop Beauty Palette

My Pop Beauty Palette has arrived!!!! I can't wait to try it out! I adore the wonderful colors that i just can't seem to take my eyes off it. They're so vibrant as well as pigmented that I'm pretty sure my eyes would really pop out.:) I bought 2 of these, the green eyes and the blue eyes. I can't choose between those 2 so i decided to purchase them both. I also love the packaging of it, it looks like a french purse! It's really nice and not that pricey..Will make a review on it after i tried these out!

Reviews:Nars Orgasm

I've heard so much reviews about this particular blush, the raves of different people dying to own this cult favorite best of Sephora blush! Well, they claimed that this universally flattering shade has been the favorite of most beauty editors, makeup addicts, makeup artists, celebrities and lot more. So after hearing the good reviews of this ultimate favorite of all blush, i decided to try to own this product.

I tried to look at Rustan's essenses in Glorietta but unfortunately they were out of stock. So i tried visiting Shangrila to look for it, and luckily they only have 1 left. Oh, and my mom was also celebrating her birthday so she has 20% off on all items using her citibank card!!! Lucky me!:p Then we went home afterwards, i was just staring the packaging and just sliding my fingers across the black compact case. I was so excited to get home so i could test it, forgot to bring my blush brush that time so i can't tried it while i was in the car.










What I love About it:

-The peachy pink shade really looks good on my skintone, making it look so natural. It also imparts a slight shimmer making my face glows. It can be layered on for more intensity but still looks good and doesn't look too overdo. It gives a very natural luminous sheen to my complexion that goes with any makeup look. It can be worn for formal and even for casual affairs.

Pros:

-It lasts pretty long.
-Suits any complexion.
-It has a decent size that will surely lasts for a long time.


Cons:

-Too pricey.
-The rubberized case/packaging can easily attracts dirt.


Overall Verdict:

-Nars Orgasm is really good, It's a bit expensive, yes, but i just decided to have it after reading the hype over this product and multitudes of consumer reviews and magazine ravings about the perfection of this color on every skin tone. I'm pretty impressed with it and gives a gentle flush of color on my face. Being allure's #1 best blush?? I don't think so..Don't get me wrong, i love this blush but for me the best is still "BENETINT". This blush may be the second best blush for me.:) If i want to go for a naturally reddish look I'll go for benetint, and for peachy pink look..then Nars Orgasm is the one.:D

Reviews: 4u2 Cosmetics I-Pro Palette Impressive

I passed by Watson's last week to hunt down newly released makeups, while checking 4u2 cosmetics and the moment i laid my eyes on this i-pro palette, it's like experiencing love at first sight! I couldn't take my eyes off it! and i have the feeling that i MUST buy this palette or else i won't be be able to sleep that night especially it was already within my reach, and all i had to do was to grab it and go directly to the counter. Well, I gladly did and listen to my heart and bought this wonderful palette..:) But before doing that i had to check whether all the powder in the palette was still in compact, since i already heard that many people complained regarding cracked/destroyed powders and so i had to take precautions. Upon checking the palette, all powders are still intact and i'm sure was lucky because the Shade Impressive has only 1 stock left! The saleslady said that it's their bestseller and restocking of that shade will take a month!!! Anway, here's my personal review of thsis palette, i aslo provided a picture of it for a better view.




Front View

Back View

The reason I bought this palette is primarily of it's high pigment colors. It is smooth textured, blendable, and well pigmented. It may also be used wet to bring out it's deeper effect. This eyeshadows has a bit of creamy texture that will surely stick in your eyes in just a swipe, it is also buildable so if you want to have a more intense look apply 2 or more layers of shadow.

Pros:

-Reasonably priced
-Great color payoff is fantastic
-it is sleek and may be convenient to bring it anywhere with me.
-Highly Pigmented, Smooth Textured and Blendable Colors.
-Doesn't Crease or Fades
-Lasts the whole day.


Cons:

-It's not really a con but i hope they had included an applicator in the palette.
-They should've released matte eyeshadows, they only have shimmer & frost type.


Tips:

-You may also use this as an eyeliner, just use an eyeliner brush tap it in the powder then start applying in your lower lids or waterline. It will surely stick in your eyes and stay there until you take it off. I tried it on my sister and applied the black in her waterline, it was still there in it's full color until the next day wearing it for more than 24 hours!!


Overall:

This is definetely an eye candy! The colors are captivating and I could just stare at the palette admiring the stunning colours all day. I could create a lot of variety and different looks by using this palette..so far i've created an arabic & rainbow look(will post the pic in one of these days.). I can also create a knock out look with this 8 color shimmer eyeshadow powders, for it's combination you'll surely get a second look from people as you passes by. As for the quality, it speaks for its self..the shadow powder stays put even after long hours of wearing it, it doesn't crease or fades. This packaging is sleek so it can fit in your bags. It also comes with a built in mirror that you could use in applying your eyeshadows. I also recommend you ladies to try their other collection line, especially the duos eyeshadow(price is around 224php). It comes with a built in mirror plus an applicator. What more can i say?? This palette is a good value for your money!

Reviews:Japan's Fluidline Gel Liner

After doing an endless hours of surfing and comparing different gel eyeliners..I finally settled with this one. I bought this gel eyeliner over ebay, it was labeled Japan's fluidline gel liner..but upon receving the item, the name "Japan's fluidline gel liner" was nowhere to be found. The packaging is written in Japanese characters so i don't know the real name of the product. Hope you can shed some light here guys..hehe Well anyway, what made me decided to buy this product was because of it's versatility. I also read in one of the site that it's one of the best gel eyeliners in Japan! though i was in the brink of purchasing Mac fluidline/Kate Kanebo Gel liners but after knowing this product i was amazed by it's size. 5g in a pot!!! for only $14.99..This is definetely one of my best buy.:)

I've provided a Front & Back pic of the packaging for a better view.


This set reminds me of an Antique Chinese Brush Pen & Inkstone.:)




Directions:

Use the eyeliner brush pen to draw a fine line on your upper lids. Once applied the liner will dry and stay there until you take it off. It may take a little practice if you are not used to applying liner using a brush, but once you master it..you wouldn't even think of using eyeliner pen anymore.


Pros:

-The brush and the glass pot duo travels very well as they are small and light.
-It has the Gel consistency.
-Long staying power.
-It glides on smoothly
-A little of it goes a long way.
-Waterproof & Smudgeproof.


Cons:

-It doesn't come in color choices, only black is available.:(
-It's a bit hard to remove the eyeliner eventhough i'm already using eye makeup remover


Overall:

One of the best gel eyeliner in the market. This product comes in a little glass pot, very similar to Bobbi Brown and MAC. The great thing about this, is that it comes with an eyeliner brush! It hungs on after long hours of shopping/working and still looks great. It doesn't run and cracks or even messed up like any gel eyeliners do. It pairs up with a cool eyeliner brush that helps me save a few bucks for shelling out a new brush. I'm able to draw a thin, straight & precise line that lines the upper lids beautifully with great wear throughout the day. At first i was kind of skeptical because i never used a brush to apply eyeliner before, but after trying this it works fine with me! I wish I had known about the Fluidline a long time ago. With it's gel-based formula it goes on easier than pencil because you don't have to apply as much pressure. A long-wearing yet affordable gel liners will surely leaves you satisfied.


Tips:

Every good product comes with a flaw, and one of it is drying up before its time, causing applications to be chalky and lots of wasted product. Here's what i always did to avoid it to dry out. After dipping your brush in it, put the pot down and top down...then turn it over if in need to dip again. I put the lid on while I am applying it (to prevent as much air from going in). The less exposure the better.

I've been using this product for lots of times now but look how little I've consumed. It could lasts a lifetime!!!!

Reviews:NYX Ultra Pearl Mania Eyeshadows

I personally love this product. I like the intensity and huge array of shades to choose from. It has the right amount of shimmer that can be for an everyday use. What's so great about this pigment eyeshadows that it's a very finely milled powder that can be added to other eyeshadows for a shimmer, without really changing the color of it. It is a cheaper alternative for MAC but gives high quality.:) I owned most of the colors available and i'm loving all of them!!!!



Pros:

-It is highly pigmented and smooth in texture.

-Can also be applied wet for consistensy of the eyeshadows. Try and see for yourself the difference

-Very affordable yet delivers excellency.

-24 colors to choose from.

-Long lasting powder & easy to blend.



Cons:

-a big No No for hot weather, especially if you mix different kinds of shades, it ends up mixing the colors.

-a bit itchy in the part were i applied the eyeshadows if i sweat.

-Products come in a tiny container, and the neck part is too narrow..so it is extremely difficult to dip down the brush.

-No matter how i tap the outside to make sure all the excess are all in the bottom, whenever i opened the cover,it always spills a little on me.



Overall:

I absolutely love this product!!! Colors are so vibrant and with it's size i could bring it anywhere with me. They're pretty good quality despite the ultra-low price tag and come in a wide range of lovely, wearable colors. Despite of it's small size(it is smaller than the MAC mini pigments) it can surely last you a long time. It's comparable to MAC at a fraction of the cost. A must-have for pigment/loose eyeshadow lovers out there!!!



Tips:

-You may transfer the pigment shadow on a larger container or Sifter jars for more convenient use.

-If you happen to like the packaging that way(which is fine with me) you may use it by putting a little on the back of your hand for easier application.

-Applying your pigments or mineral eyeshadows wet intensifies the color

-Use eye primer or concealer on your lids before applying so the pigments will stay longer.

Reviews:4u2 Glitz Liquid Eyeliner

4u2 cosmetics is made in thailand. These are available locally in some malls and Watson's. Haven't bought any cosmetics from them before..until i saw the Glitz Collection line. This line is more on party and clubbing collection that has glittery eyeliners and various colors of mascaras for party-goers.

I've been so intrigued with it that my boyfriend ended up buying one liquid eyeliner for me!!!!:) Planning to get all colors available, but then i'm not so familiar with the brand yet so i ended up with only one.:) I'm so fond with the green one that i decided to choose that color.

Sorry for the bad lighting, but look how the color appears so shimmery and so high in pigments.:)

Available Colors:

Blue
Brown
Black
Green
Gold
Violet

Pros:
-Higly Pigmented and Long staying power.
-Colors are intense.
-It is indeed smudge-proof.
-Affordable yet snazzy.
-Easy to remove
-No allergy reaction or any burning sensation after application.
-Takes only a little time to dry on the lids.
-Easy To apply.


Cons:
-May smudge a bit for people who has oily lids.
-It can be easily removed by water.


Overall:
I'm head over heels with this Liquid eyeliner!!! This product can be used by any makeup addicts, it may be professionals or even first timers!!! it is easy to apply. Handles are long enough for you to apply in comfort. It doesn't limit you for party or clubbing in using this product. It may also be used for casual affairs depending on the color you're going to use. It's so afforadable, for a price of 225php($4.60) you can enjoy these liquid liners without burning a hole in your pocket.


Tips:
Apply eye primer into your lids first,or maybe not..it depends on you. Since this liquid eyeliner holds with or without eye primer. Make sure this will be your lasts to apply in your eyes. May be applied 1-2 layers of your choice. Apply gently to create a precise line.

-For first timers, you may want to use an eyeliner pencil first to have a stencil. So you won't go beyond the desired line. Or...
-Draw dots on your lids with an eyeliner, then connect the dots.
-Apply the eyeliner in slow strokes..Do not immediately draw a full line at once.
-After application, do not open your eyes immediately. Wait for it to dry up first.

Reviews: Victoria Secret Cream Eyeshadows Going Green

I bought this eyeshadow on ebay..I'm loving cream eyeshadow at this moment especially the ones that has pearly or metallic effect. After trying it,this product didn't dissapoint me. I simply love it! And i discovered that it seems better as a base. it is highly pigmented and at the same time it lasted a long time than i expected. After a few hours of wearing it, it is still the same the first time i wore it, it doesn't crease or fades. You may use your fingertips in applying or for better result use the right application tool. It's blendable and contour your eyes for sheer or dramatic effect. I only spend a dollar for this product,guess i'm lucky!:) This is definetely one of my good buys!:)

Coastal Palette(Contouring & Blush)

I bought this palette online after i learned how to contour and highlight. Contouring helps in defining and enhancing the facial features..it sculpts and alters your facial structure making it more symmetrical. It will make your face appears more prominent and refined. With the right brushes & application tool you can contour your face easily.

This contour palette is packaged in a black case holding 6 large pans. The powders are all matte, after all you don't want to use shimmer or pearl powders while contouring. The darker brown is used for contouring. By using angled brushes, sweep lightly across the powder make sure that you tapped off the excess, then start swiping it below the cheekbone(be sure to blend it properly), the jawline and your temples. It gives an illusion of slimmer and more defined face, and you may use it on your chin if you have a long chin...you can also apply the darker shade on either side of the bridge of the nose and apply the highlight on the bridge to have an illusion of longer and sharper nose. The white one is for highlighting, swipe it above your cheeks, brow bone, above the lips and forehead. The cream is color is for concealing and the others are blushes for different skintones.

I was impressed with this palette and it's my new everyday essential. Though the only drawback of this product for me is the contouring shade, it is a bit darker for my skintone so i have to control in applying it so it won't look like some dirt spread below my cheekbone. Tip: Use contouring shade that is 2 shades darker of your skintone...i think the contouring shade is 3-4x darker of my skintone.

Idelible Gel Eyeliner

I've been dying to try this out! Lots of reviews says that this product is easy to apply and glides on very easily. The colors are very intense and defines the eyes. Others claims that it's a smudgeproof and waterproof gel liners which I've been looking for a very long time. Idelible eye liners are quite small in size 4 grams for $8.99, but a little of it goes a long way. There are 13 colors to choose from, and i will be trying the chocolate mousse, magnetism and tanzanite. Before i've known this product i was in the brink of purchasing the MAC fluidline which would cost me around $32 for 3 grams! Thankfully i came across to one of the site that recommends this product, it's cheaper than MAC but delivers that same quality.

Another Set Of Professional Makeup Brush Set!!!

My Mom & Grandma just got back from HK. And you know what my mom bought me?? It's a 16 pcs professional makup brush set!!!!! She bought it from a cosmetic store "SaSa". i'm so happy with it!!! It's my own traveling professional makeup brush set, these handles are much shorter and the whole package are smaller compared to my original set. I can bring it anywhere with me especially if i'm in need of touch ups or in the mood of dollying up my sister whenever we're in the road or someplace else.:) I totally love it! of course it was a gift from my mom.:) I'm glad that they're home, believe it or not but i missed them a lot. Guess, i'm not used of not having them around lol That's all for now.:)

Reviews: Revlon Colorstay Liquid Eyeliner Strike It Gold

I was shopping at ebay and with curiosity i finally bought this liquid eyeliner. I'm particularly impressed with this product! it really does have a long staying power and it doesn't run like any other liquid eyeliners i had tried on...so you don't need to reapply in the middle of the day. It is extremely easy to put on, it's just like using a pen and you can draw a very fine line without having it smudged. I applied this liquid eyeliner on my upper lash and it sure looks good on me.:) With the right shade of an eyeshadow, it really standout and gives a defined look around my eyes. This liquid eyeliner is thick so it does not dry out easily, it doesn't crack and surely the true color would stay for long hours. Bought it for 225 pesos, not that pricey and rest assured you'll be more than satisfied after trying this product. Love it!

Reviews: Coastal Scents Ultra Shimmer 88 Palette.:)

I was drawn to this product while surfing and looking for some eyeshadow palettes over the net, so I bought this Coastal Ultra Shimmer 88 Eye Shadow Palette.as soon as possible. And now I am so addicted with it!!!!!:) it is unbelievably cheap and at the same time smooth and highly pigmented. The colors are so vibrant and it really standout. I am so impressed with it’s long staying power, I wore these eyeshadows for more than 10 hours and it doesn’t crease or fades. With great arrays of colors to choose from, you can experiment with it. The moment I got this palette I immediately tried playing with it, tried to mix the colors and the result of it leaves me extremely satisfied. For a good quality palette with an affordable price, it really exceeded my expectation. I only wish I had find out about this product earlier were I attended lots of parties and social events, and this eyeshadows would be great during those times. I love this palette so much, it would be a great gift to somebody who is just starting using cosmetics or a professional makeup artist.:)

Bloom Eye Paints.:)

Weeeeh!!!! Bought another Bloom eye paints!!!!:) Good thing they're still on sale! I just adore the product so much!:) I picked the color sage and taupe. I'm really glad that i went for that choice. Love the taupe color, it goes with anything because of it's earth tone. I'm thinking of purchasing 2 of each color so i have stock of it in case i finished the whole eye paints.:)
